Quick Look at the SlingBox Solo

September 26, 2007 by Dan in Random with 3 Comments

Over the last few days Sling Media was gracious enough to let UNEASYsilence poke around with a pre-production SlingBox Solo – You know the model the FCC accidentally leaked. The SOLO, priced at $179.99 is designed to fill the gap between consumers who wanted the SlingBox AV (Which only offers composite video and controlls one device) and SlingBox Pro (Has four inputs, built in cable tuner, and progressive video passthrough). The Solo, in addition to its refreshed design, has standard integrated support for component video, composite video, and pass-through outputs. Interestingly enough the unit has a USB port on the back which raises some questions.

Since the unit was a preproduction model we will not pass official judgement on the unit, but this unit has provided even better picture quality then any other Sling model previously offered in my tests.

The Slingbox solo launches tomorrow morning for $179.99. More pictures after the jump.

So… what does it do? :)

I’ll stick with my Slingbox Pro that you guys brought up a while ago. It’s amazing to be able to watch TV anywhere I have a connection. I even upped my DSL service so I’d have a better upstream for my Sling. Now if they’d only make an iPhone or BB client (when Apple and RIM gets their ass in gear and bumps up to 3G)

Looks like my wish came true: Sling is actually making a client for Blackberries. Awesome. Too bad it will probably cost $30.
